Fossil teeth of sharks of the genus Carcharhinus excavated from various fossil localities in Japan from the Holocene to Oligocene periods are summarized here, by species. To date, 18 species of sharks of the genus Carcharhinus have been obtained from excavations. With the exception of the lower teeth, all of the fossils are relatively easy to compare with the present species, and no fossil teeth were found that could be considered extinct.
